PREMIERES

“Dirty Soap” season one
Premieres Sunday, September 25th @ 10:00pm ET/PT
The “soap bubble” is a small and intimate world and this ‘who’s who’ of daytime television cast of characters has played extremely significant roles in each others lives for years. They've been co-stars, best friends, worst enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, and everything in between. Working together on set and spending time with each other in their down-time, they have formed substantial bonds and created a pseudo "soap family." In the series we see them all begin a new chapter in their lives – some have left the soap world, some are doing film, some are focusing on family, and others are simply trying to determine what would be the best next move. All the while their goals are clear - to grow their careers and to keep their hearts and heads above water in Tinseltown - where it’s so very easy to drown.

“Kendra” season four
Premieres Sunday, September 25th @ 11:00pm ET/PT
Following a successful but intense run on “Dancing with the Stars,” Kendra is busily writing her second book and the Basketts are considering another baby. But even as Kendra's work life is busier than ever, Hank’s football career seems to be on very shaky ground -- which makes long-term planning for the celebrity couple both stressful and uncertain. But rolling with life’s punches is what Kendra is known for, and the Basketts are more than used to dealing with unexpected challenges thrown their way!

The season kicks off with a hilarious encounter with Kendra and Hank's quirky new neighbors, who play an over-the-top practical joke on the neighborhood's newest residents, and Kendra's decision-making skills are put to the ultimate test by all the decorating choices she needs to make for the new home.

“True Hollywood Story: Bethenny Frankel”
Premieres Wednesday, September 21st @ 10:00pm ET/PT
Bethenny Frankel has gone from being a single woman with a successful business as a health food chef to a happily married business juggernaut, thanks to her viewer-grabbing appearances in Bravo’s hit reality series, The Real Housewives of New York City. In the show’s earlier seasons, storylines revolved around Frankel’s love life and her extravagant outings with the other housewives. But by 2010, it was her acrimonious feud with ex-best friend, Jill Zarin, which became the show’s central story, causing division amongst the other housewives and a lot of verbal sparring. In the midst of all the tension, Frankel wrote best-selling diet books, created a guilt-free cocktail, and starred in her own spin-off series called Bethenny Getting Married? – all successful ventures that changed Frankel’s image from a simple “housewife” to a smart and savvy entrepreneur and one of the few Bravo “housewives” you wanted to root for.
